Beis Luggage
This is the hottest luggage brand this travel season. It's shown up on everyone's recommended list and for good reason. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but its 360 wheels, stain-resistant shell, and silicone-covered soft grip handle make it the practical choice as well. And it comes with a 2-year warranty - can your department store luggage compete with that?
Compression Packing Cubes
If there's one thing that's changed my life, it's packing cubes (okay, that might be an exaggeration, but really, it's close!). I can't travel without them now - they're a game changer, and these are collapsable!
Hoka One Arahi 5 Trainers
If the Beis is the luggage of the year, Hoka's are the shoes of the year. This brand blew up over the summer, thanks Tik-Tok, but they're not just for running. There are a few things you want in a shoe when it comes to travel: comfort, easy-on/off, and versatility & style. These check every box. My Fiancé bought a pair for our trip to Switzerland and they seamlessly took him from the airplane to the alps. Buy Now
Apple Airpods
I know, I know, I know. Everyone this season is talking about the Apple Airpod Max headphones, which are awesome in their own right, but in my "professional" opinion, aren't ideal for travel because of their size. The OG pods are where it's at, and I honestly think the Apple AirPods out beat their market competitors with their sleek case and comfortable fit. Take it from someone with ultra-sensitive ears.
Osprey 25L Backpacker's Pack
Do you have a traveler in your life that just won't sit still? Do they never seem to stay in one place for more than a few days before they're off to their next destination? Well, then maybe skip the rolling luggage and make their life easier with this Osprey pack. Osprey has been my brand of choice since my college days, and this rolled top gives them just enough extra room to pack that extra pair of shoes they were debating bringing along.
JBL Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
Now, everyone knows not to travel without headphones, but what about when you get to your destination and you're ready to pump it up? This speaker will for sure provide better quality beats than the ol' phone-in-a-cup trick, and your traveler and their travel partners will thank you for that.
Anker Portable Powerbank
The last thing anyone wants to worry about (and let's be honest - the first thing they forget about) is their electronics' battery life. Don't let them get stranded with a dead phone, headphones, or kindle while traveling, and gift them the gift that keeps on giving with this top-rated, sleek & compact, portable charger.
Mavogel Sleeping Mask
Nothing, and I mean, NOTHING (well maybe a snoring stranger on your shoulder or a seat next to the bathroom) is worse than being unable to sleep on the plane because of the glow of the seat monitors or your neighbor's overhead reading light. Nip that problem in the bud with this sleeping mask, which was rated NUMBER ONE in a highly scientific study performed by CNN (that may be sarcasm, but hey, they did the research!). Buy Now
Infinity Travel Pillow
Does anyone actually find those foam neck pillows comfortable? Well, it looks like we're finally getting an upgrade with this infinity option. It's soft, washable, offers 360 support, and is versatile with its infinity design. With this pillow + the gel eye mask above, sleeping on a plane, train, or car may finally be possible. Buy Now
